1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
63
30
24
72

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 5 x 3
v = 30


2

What is 6a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
12
12a2
a2
12a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a + 6a = 12a


3

Simplify (y - 1)(y + 6)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 7y + 6
y2 - 7y + 6
y2 + 5y - 6
y2 - 5y - 6

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 1)(y + 6)
(y x y) + (y x 6) + (-1 x y) + (-1 x 6)
y2 + 6y - y - 6
y2 + 5y - 6


4

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49
78
9
75

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 9 = \( \frac{18}{2} \) = 9


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
